Brisbane’s fourth annual celebration of cabaret will be spread between Brisbane Powerhouse, QPAC and the Queensland Multicultural Centre in June.

Festival founder Alison St Ledger expects this year’s diverse festival to bring in audiences who might not have had any interest in cabaret before.

“I am thrilled with the growth of the Queensland Cabaret Festival over the last four years, and with such an incredibly diverse range of acts this year, I’m confident we will attract new fans to the cabaret genre,” she says.

Other highlights of the festival include Seven on Sinatra, which will see seven of Brisbane’s best songstresses performing the music of Frank Sinatra; Thank You For The Music, QPAC Choir’s celebration of ABBA; and In The Warm Room: The Music of Kate Bush 1978-1980, the latest tribute show from the team behind The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust.
